Trooper Moises Sanchez, was more than my Uncle. He was my real life super hero. The love I felt today in the Valley makes me proud to say "This is where I was raised". The community's support was breathtaking and honestly had me in tears with the overwhelming support shown today.

The loss of Texas Dept. of Public Safety Trooper Moises Sanchez is a tragedy.

He was shot in the line of duty.

Hidalgo County District Attorney is right to seek capital murder charges against the killer.
